I agree with L that posts in Soaktropolis shouldn't be included in overall post count. Right now, I see a lot of spam in there that honestly shouldn't be counted as posts, and it would probably partially fix the overactive posting in there.

To be honest, I don't think excluding Soaktropolis posts from the post count will slow the overactive posting in there at all. People post there a lot because it's fun, not to boost status.

As much as I'd like to disagree, the fact is that this site really doesn't have any "high post benefits", so... I've got no grounds to argue against allowing a post count for the spam forum here. There'd be no purpose behind it.
